Mid Year Family Conferences

Regional Conferences are held mid-year in Marton, Whangarei & Auckland – see above schedule. A Christchurch Regional later in the year is dependant on families expressing interest. Please email atinzlc@gmail.com.

Annual Conference (January)

The Annual ATI Conference is held in late January at Marton (Arahina), in the North Island.
These conferences are a vital part of the growth and blessing received by the families involved with this ministry. They are also an important connection time for fellowship and building relationships with like-minded people, building friendships over the years.
The speakers are many and varied, with both live and DVD presentation. The challenge and enrichment is always timely and refreshing.

Travel Information
